Can you get to the ocean from Chicago?
Hold on to your swimsuits, folks, it's about to get DEEP (or should we say, OCEAN DEEP)
The Windy City's Ocean Blues (or lack thereof)
Alright, alright, Chicago doesn't exactly have a beach you can stroll down and wiggle your toes in the Atlantic Ocean's sandy goodness. But hey, that doesn't mean you're out of luck, ocean enthusiasts!
Lake Michigan to the rescue?
Sure, Lake Michigan is technically a Great Lake, not an ocean, but it's pretty darn big (like, fifth largest freshwater lake in the world BIG). You can definitely get your dose of waves, sandy shores, and that fresh lake breeze (which, let's be honest, is basically the ocean's salty breath anyway). Plus, on a hot summer day, nobody puts baby in a corner... they head straight to Lake Michigan!
But wait, there's more!
If you're craving the real deal, salty-water kind of ocean, fret not, Chicagoans! You've got options. Buckle up for a splash of geographical knowledge!
